X Platform to Launch Direct Crypto Trading via Smart Cash Tags
The head of product at
#X Nikita Bier, has confirmed that the platform will introduce Smart Cash Tags in the coming weeks. These tags will allow users to view financial data directly from their timeline and access trading links. The announcement came during a platform policy discussion about third-party crypto applications.
Bier clarified that X will not handle trade execution or act as a brokerage service. Instead, the platform will provide financial data tools and links to trading partners, while third-party services will process the actual transactions.
According to Christopher Park, director of the X developer platform, automation and spam conducted through scraping or API access will be strictly monitored. The platform will flag and restrict bots or programs involved in large-scale manipulation, engagement farming, or unauthorized data collection.
The Smart Cash Tags feature is built on the existing ticker system at X, where users create clickable links by placing a dollar sign before a symbol. Under the updated system, users will also be able to include a specific asset or smart contract address when posting a cryptocurrency or stock ticker.
Clicking these enhanced tags will display live price charts, related posts, and direct trading options. Early interface mockups show integrated buy and sell buttons alongside real-time price data for selected assets.
According to Bier, the API powering Smart Cash Tags will provide near real-time data for any asset minted on blockchain networks. This means small-cap tokens not listed on centralized exchanges will be able to appear alongside traditional equities like
#NVDA .
This feature is part of a broader financial services expansion at X. Former CEO announced a partnership with in January 2025 to introduce a digital wallet called X Money for peer-to-peer payments.
